Annie, I hope things line up for you All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep living in one small room When you never let anyone in You never let anyone in Annie, you think the whole world's been cruel All the stars took advantage of you Your mother was cold, your daddy'd no love So you stomped your feet til they noticed Stomped your feet til they put on the kid gloves Now they're walking on eggshells, they're walking on glass They sing you a lullaby each time you ask Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go. Annie, you think the boys never played fair Tripping you up, sticking gum in your hair But wherever you run, it's yourself you face there And he might be gone when you need him He might be gone by the time you care Now he's walking on eggshells, he's walking on glass Sings you a lullaby each time you ask Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go But Annie, I love you, that's always been clear It's the layers of history that won't let us hear The twisted compassion that's burning our ears The distance from there to here The distance from there to here 'Cause I'm walking on eggshells, I'm walking on glass We sing hallelujah each time that you pass End Someday you'll pick yourself up off your ass and go 'Cause you're gambling again and the stakes are too high Your ante is fear, and my bet is desire Took you far from the truth, and into the fire again But Annie, I hope things line up for you All in a row, shiny and new You can't keep living in one small room When you never let anyone in, you never let anyone in, never let anyone in
